Six times Russian champion with Spartak Yegor Titov told that the death of commentator Vasily Utkin came as a shock to the entire football community: he can be called the best in his profession over the past 25 years.
Utkin’s death was announced on Tuesday. On March 6, he turned 52.
— For 10 years, we have seen each other very rarely. I remember that in 2015 Vasya was taken on a Spartak charter, he sat with the coaches in business class. We had a very good and warm conversation. We encountered him much more often in the 2000s, during the years of my playing career.
I can’t believe we are now talking about Vasya in the past tense. It’s a shock for the entire football community, for sports journalism. I am younger than Vasya, but he is a man of my generation. You try to understand and understand that the people of my football destiny, who I grew up with and grew up with, are leaving.
When I finished playing, I watched a lot of football on TV and Vasya often commentated on the matches. I listened to him and admired him; he is one of the best football commentators of the last quarter of a century. It’s not for nothing that he won the TEFI two years in a row.
Three years ago we knocked out Yura Rozanov, a jack of all trades in every sport. Utkin was a maestro of football reporting, and today another era has passed,” Titov told .
